My folks live ½-mile from the lake in Wolfeboro. They want speed limits—maybe to protect their kids, do you suppose?

Please wear a WinnFABS shirt all the time, so I can someday introduce myself and thank you for your efforts.

You?...can speak to what the majority of boaters read?

It's A FACT that it appeared in the state's largest newspaper before The Survey. Please add that biggie to the seven other major errors I accounted for in the Survey.

I am? I wrote that? I'm concurring? Where are all these words coming from?

Even an Opponent agrees that the results were skewed: how 'bout we wave this one that also challenges The Survey's credibility?

Thousands? Nobody made round-trips for several weeks? No Jet-Skis?

Hundreds of readings—maybe.

I have the daily benefit (and advantage) of paralleling a major boating mecca on a highway where the speed limit is 45. The vast majority of boaters below these bridges aren't going near that fast; however, the boaters that are exceeding the speed of all these trucks and cars on those bridges are a clear and present danger to everyone—and everything—on the waters below.

For a moment, think of the burning of tobacco in restaurants.

Lake Winnipesaukee is not the only locale dealing with inappropriate watercraft. Between the four surfers in this videotape—and the one vessel with an engine—you'd be in support of the Jet-Ski?
